Junot, thank you for this--"I promise you, if the body is not performing in the world of the text the reader will become abstracted from both the character and the world they inhabit." I'm writing a scene rn and took a break to read your column--so worth it! You NAIL it down so clear, just absolutely crush it with your lucid explanations. Thank you, thank you.
